Song List: Psalm 23 Psalm 27 Psalm 24 Psalm 37 Psalm 33 Psalm 61 Psalm 103 Psalm 83 Psalm 147 Psalm 75

A three movement set of virtuosic pieces for clarinet and piano, each movement representing a psalm. The first, Out of the Depths I Cry to Thee, Psalm 130, has a jagged melody, dissonant harmonies and literally cries with leaps of a seventh. The pastoral second movement , The Lord Is My Shepherd, Psalm 23, uses the American hymn tune, My Shepherd Shall Supply My Need, and gradually the pieces of it become the complete tune. The last, Make a Joyful Noise, Psalm 100, is a set of variations with lots of fun rhythms and meter changes, famous quotations, some klezmer, some jazz, some multiphonics and other fun techniques.
